He Lixue nodded her head and sighed. "Thank you."
The thank you was heartfelt and sincere. She was genuinely grateful for having met Lu Nanfeng. Although she was not who he had thought she was, he was still standing by her side without hesitation.
Even when he knew that the one they were up against was the Organization, then he still helped her deal with them.
He Lixue was aware that while the Organization was unable to deal with Lu Nanfeng, he also needed to pay a certain, and very high, price if he wanted to deal with them.
"Don't do too much," He Lixue finally said with a low voice. "I don't want you to suffer any backlash because of me."
Lu Nanfeng could hear that she was worried about him, and his heart softened. "Don't worry," he assured her, "I have a sense of proportion."
He Lixue nodded her head, and said with a soft voice, "yeah."
The two were silent, none of them spoke, but it was not awkward, but comfortable.
